First look at Curtis Pritchard’s tense confrontation with ex
In the show’s first look at the fourth series, confirmed latecomer Curtis can be seen having a face-to-face confrontation with his ex, Sophie Sheridan.
Last year, Sophie opened up about their relationship, accusing Curtis of “psychological trauma” and persuading her to pretend they had split so he could land a role on Love Island.
In the trailer, Curtis can be seen telling Sophie: “I’m telling you the truth.” However, Sophie appears to be having none of it, remarking: “It’s a shame you’re a compulsive liar!”
Elsewhere, Jedward singer John is captured showing off with his secret ex-girlfriend for the first time. In the dramatic teaser, he told her: “No one really ever came close to what we had.”
Following the exchange, the clip featured them sharing a kiss, which suggested their romance might not be over.
